I heart Chicago! I've had the most marvellous day, in glorious weather exploring and taking it all in. The buildings are amazing and Millenium Park is the best public park I've ever seen. Not only does it have TWO Frank Gehry shiny wonders but it has Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor (Brit!). It's the most wonderful sculpture and I was watching the crowds mill around (and under!) it - they were all entirely enraptured with it. It's like to some giant metalic bean but what seems other-worldy about it is that there are no visible joins or panels. So despite being shiny and metallic it seems organic and natural. On a sunny day like today the reflections were quite amazing
